Taxonomy List Widget

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 98% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Works fine with version 5.8.2 Widget appears as expected, just had to remember to search for TAXONOMY widget not TAG widget.

   I too am using GP Theme and just wanted to show tags in sidebar. Installed plugin and nothing happened. Various configuration of the widget also did nothing and didn’t even appear in the sidebar. Could just be out of date and no longer work, not sure!

   I am using the widget to display tags in a sidebar, and don’t want to show all tags. This widget can exclude/include tags. Tested on mobile, looks and works fine (GP theme) Thank you for the plugin.

   I used this plugin to concert the Tag cloud into Listing and it worked without issue. Happy with the functionality. However, it seems that this plugin also makes many pages ‘mobile unfriendly’ on google console. Can author check this issue please? Thanks!

   My only criticism is the font size, I would love to globally reduce the font sizes used, to 75% of their current sizes. Is there a way to do this by a simple setting addition or via CSS?
